After discussion with  Jason Hunt concerning the dire need for a ranger to monitor the activities on the Passage Jason has announced the appointment of our new ranger, Dean Crust, Maritime Safety Queensland (MSQ) who will have an office at the new Marina at Pelican Waters. Dean spoke to TAPP Members at our April General meeting and encouraged members to contact him if they have any concerns in regard to safety on the Passage – his email is Dean.B.Crust@msq.qld.gov.au

The main focus of MSQ is safety – generally speed and pollution. There is a concern that the liveaboard vessels on the Passage do not have a suitable/easy method of off loading their sewage. TAPP has been in contact with the Council and Unity Water to provide a dump point for these vessels.
